Religion is pure poison disguised as hope. How has religion harmed you?

I personally haven't been harmed by religion. I have been an Atheist all my life, but didn't have the label Atheist till I was an adult. I have heard many stories where Atheists were harmed because of their lack of belief in the supernatural. I was wondering how many of you here have been harmed by religion and how you were harmed?

The separation of church and state is paramount, but people like Betsy DeVos are stepping all over that wall. I feel attacked by the religious right by having them force their religion down our throats. If that's harm, then I guess I was wrong that I was not harmed. Feeling attacked showed be against the law. If it is, then I want to sue Trump and the Trumpettes.

Mainly by getting a shitload of people to believe their imaginary afterlife is more important than this life on the planet we have to depend on for further survival. We're all being harmed by that in a big way.
